Similar thing happened to me a few days ago. Notification bar said that the card was damaged. I simply put it into my PC card reader and ran Mini Tool Partition wizard (Google the free download) and I did a scan and fix and I did lose some files from a recent folder transfer (which is what I think caused the problem) but the card file system was quickly repaired and no reformatting was necessary. In other words, the card did not have physical damage.

I bought the nexus 4 8gb. too small i know buts thats what i can afford.

any way can some one explaine why the storage capacitiy is only 6 gb?

thats a real let down.:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TobiS87:
AW: [Q] A math problem with the storage size?!

It's because the system takes about 2GB of storage. So no "math problem" but some irritating advertisement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marnel47:
This is no different than any other device. The same is true for any other android device and yes even the iPhone. The system ROM will always require a small portion of available space :(

Users that use iDevices get the full space as advertised, probably because it costs more anyways.

Android devices are cheaper so they couldn't care much about delivering whats advertised. :)

Any how, you shouldn't have any issues with an 8GB N4.

Considering DropBox (You can get 18GB of Dropbox space for as little as $5. I've personally bought it from here http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160943243088?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I don't play games on my phone so that wont waste space either.

I just have about a gig of music on my phone.

Many people have been asking why Google play either fails to download apps or fails to connect at all, so here's a few things that might fix it!

1) Clear the Cache from Google Play in your settings.

(Settings > Applications > Google Play > Clear cache)

2) Try removing your Google account and re-adding it

3) Seems obvious, but try turning your internet of and on

4) Try rebooting your device

5) restart your internet (Through your main hub)

If non of these work, you may be best contacting Google to get it checked out!

Hope this helps :)

Also tried everything. Even complete uninstall of the play store through titanium backup and reinstall manually the apk. No luck. Internet working fine, only market is dead. The strangest thing is that it was working well, I did not modify anything, then it stopped working.

Please help
[General Topics] moose.splash1:
If you've tried everything above, you could try restoring your phone. This would be a pain but if you back everything up first shouldnt be too much of a problem. Or you could just leave it a week or so and see if it starts working . If not, I'd say contact Google.

If any of my posts helped, please click the thanks button :)
[General Topics] xdacuc:
That's the obvious last solution, but it doesn't really make sense. There must be a reason for the market to be doing this. I also tried manually installing a few different versions of the play store apk, not just the latest one. Still the same results.
[General Topics] moose.splash1:
I know what you mean. Maybe certain devices can sometimes have trouble accessing the market itself, or maybe its just a temporary thing with the Google servers.
[General Topics] Lifehacker7:
1 more thing.

If you patched any app using lucky patcher, it would have created an odex file in data/app. In order to install it again, you should delete that .odex file. ;)

I don't recall having used Lucky Patcher. Sadly I will never find out what went wrong. Flashed another rom. It was time for a change anyway :)
[General Topics] hasib_kst:
I will try this trick
[General Topics] moose.splash1:
I think also, if you install a ROM or have a device that does not come pre installed with Google play, that flashing Gapps may be better! Because I've tried manually installing the play store using an apk before. And most of the time it won't downloads apps. Try to flash Gapps as that may solve it. You can get gapps by searching for it followed by your android version on Google ^_^ good luck
[General Topics] LeeThargic:
I had a similar issue where my rommed kindle fire either couldn't connect or was unable to download apps from the play store. On connecting to the store the device details failed to register at all limiting greatly the available downloads.

Resolved the issue by using a gmail address for logging into the play store. For some reason using email other than gmail caused an issue. :(

Also removing/hiding unused devices in play store allows you to reconnect devices correctly it seems.
[General Topics] moose.splash1:
I thought you had to have a Google account/Gmail to sign in to the play store anyway?
[General Topics] LeeThargic:
I think the registration process creates (or allows you to create) a gmail address but you can log into play store with the non-gmail address used to register. Unfortunately it seems doing so causes download problems.
[General Topics] moose.splash1:
Try using it with a gmail address then? Other than what I suggested I'm not sure to be honest. My last solution was to contact Google but they can't give a lot of support to custom ROMs.
[General Topics] SonicX2014:
I had this same problem with my LG Optimus V, famous for this kind of thing. The first time this happen, I clicked on settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications. Then clicked ALL, then Google Play Store. Then I clicked on Force Stop, then Clear Data, then Clear Cache. Then run Google Play Store and agree to terms. This always worked for me using Froyo 2.2.2 -- When that didn't work, I un-installed the updated Google Play Store and reverting back to the basic one.

Later on this problem happened again, but this time it was when I rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I started getting the error message the file didn't download, but this time it was also telling me the file couldn't download because of low memory. Go figure, Optimus V only have 256 megs of internal ram, but anything below 100 megs gives the the Google error. So just before tossing my phone in the trash I read a post somewhere here on XDA forum that showed step by step how to partition a microSD card and link the second partition as internal memory using an app called Link2SD.

So I tried it on a 16 GB card and after rebooting my phone, it fixed it. Never had the problem again. Plus my Optimus V thinks there is 1GB of internal ram now. Being most phones today have 1GB or more internal ram, there should be no reason for this kind of error.

Hey Guys,

Regarding the latest Play Store update there's this annoying new feature (I was hoping it was some kind of bug) that stacks any updated apps at the top of the "My Apps" list and I find it really annoying.

Is there any way of clearing them so they go back into the list ? Google Maps is still there from 2 days ago and now I have another stuck up there and it looks untidy.

This may or not help you, but give this a read:

From what I read so far, you need the updated Google Play App v3.9+ it gives you the ability to select which apps to remove from your "My Apps List" Hope this helps.
[General Topics] BLADESMAN1889:
My Apps & History -

History has nothing to do with what I was meaning.

When you open up Play Store [4.3.11] & select ’My Apps', any of the apps that need updating are at the top of the list - separated by the "Up to date" & "Update Available".

After updating, the app would no longer separated & would go back to chill with the rest of his app buddies resulting in the 1 long list again.

But on 4.3.11 the updated app no longer goes back to see his pals but stays separated at the top only now "Update Available" has been replaced with "Recently Updated"

One of these was updated 2 days ago and it's a PITA.

Anyway thanks for trying to help me it is much appreciated :beer:

I wasn't sure what you meant at first because I had a problem with apps building up on my list I uninstalled long ago. I just looked at "My Apps List" and I see what you mean now. I have the same thing. I just updated two files just now and your right, they move down one row and say Recently Updated. I also noticed a few others that are five days old and never moved. Hmmm I never really gave it much thought till now. I'll have to look into this one.
[General Topics] krzych086:
I had download/connection problem many times and from what I have noticed, but only MIUI rom shows it, play store needs to download some 2apps, to work, which are not shown anywhere, besides the download prompt, which is only in MIUI. That prompt asks You to agree downloading file: downloadfile.apk or something like that and asks You twice. Everytime I rejected any of that 2 prompts, play store had problems connecting/downloading. Maybe that has something to do with Your problems? I haven' t seen that in any other rom which I used, but some of them were downloading something after first enter the details on the market.

I went through a lot of ROMs in here from way back when Bubble Bee first came out. I now use MiRaGe 7.2 And every since Google changed to a new app and called Google Play, all the ROMs I tried went right out the door. MiRaGe fixed this problem for awhile till Google made changes again. Problem came back. I fixed it for now, but there is a new problem just like what BLADESMAN1889 is having. Now I'm noticing this too. Files I update are not moving back to the installed. After I update, it's still there. It never moves back down the list. I found others with this same problem too on other web sites and I believe it is a bug.

I'm trying to get a walkman mod working on my phone, and theres some widgets and other stuff I have to install too.

I've tried many times and not everything was working, but after all the walkman works great now.

In this process I had made a nandroid backup to be sure to get back to a stable system if anything went wrong during installing the app's.

Now. My question is. Do i have to wipe cache, partion, and clear system and all the other wiping things in CWM, before I restore a backup?

When the backup is restoring in CWM, does it delete all the parts from my system folder?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Hey guys,

Looking to upgrade to the Nexus 4 when it comes to stock. The only 'bloatware' I care on my current MyTouch4G is the wifi calling feature from TMO. Since this phone doesn't have any of the TMO bloatware, does that mean it does not have wifi calling built in?

It's a great feature for inside offices and homes, and I would like to keep it. This may be the 'break it or make it' factor in my phone decision. I've searched and have not had any success. Can someone confirm this? Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexim:
T-Mobile has said that they will not be releasing WiFi calling for the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
So there is absolutely no software from TMO on the Nexus 4 at all, right?

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
That's correct. But T-Mobile WiFi calling isn't the only answer to your need. Look for Vonage app one the market. It's free, uses your mobile number to call out and the quality might be even better that what you're used to. It won't accept calls so for that you might have to check out some of the sip solutions if you need to receive calls on WiFi. Also, Vonage works over 3G/4G as well.

Thanks for the info. I mostly use wifi calling feature so that my text messages are not disabled while I'm in the office (bad reception) :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Well in that case it's simple. Just use Google voice with your number. Google voice sends all text messages thought the internet connection whichever available at the time. The are some inconsistencies for MMS but once you port your number there are other benefits which I think outweigh the problems with MMS. Vonage app sends text messages through internet also.

I don't have my tab2 protected. i don't use it that much other then around the house. My belkin case protects mine for what i use it for.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] psi-jack:
As I always tell people, always, ALWAYS put a screen protector on it. Even if the glass itself is scratch resistant, it is just that, resistant. Even Gorilla Glass can be scratched by elements as simple as sand.

My personal recommendation is Zagg's invisibleShield HD. It's very high quality as far as screen appearance and feel. It, like any screen protector or screen itself, can collect fingerprints, but Zagg's unique thermoplastic urethane is actually quite resilient to them for the most part. It won't prevent them, but it's easily wiped off with even the most simple cloths, such as your own shirt (which I do every once in a while).

Some benefits of the Zagg stuff too is their lifetime warranty. You buy it once, you get it replaced for life. I've actually done that already for one of my devices, my old Toshiba Thrive, there's a Zagg store in the local mall where I took it too, showed them how my old Zagg bubbled up (likely from not so great installation on my part), and they took it off, replaced it, I paid them, this time, to install it, and now my screen is once again perfect.

So, again, always, always put a screen protector on it, if you want to keep the device in good working visible quality over the long run. It's always better safe than sorry, and with a screen protector, at least IT may get scratched, but the underlying screen, with a proper good quality screen protector, the actual main screen itself will remain unscathed and perfectly pristine.

Screen protectors often also help with one other thing which is to actually help prevent the glass itself from cracking, by absorbing some of the impact, and holding it together with the adhesive compound. Food for thought. :)
